I wasn't trying to imply that anyone who responded to this thread wouldn't have helped, and I hope nobody took it that way (I know that we are a decent group here) I was simply indicting the actions (or lack thereof) of some of the people in the video. I'm sorry if you think that I have led this thread astray or "derailed it" but I think that we are still on topic and I don't regret anything I've said.

I didn't take it as a comment about people on the board, I don't think there is a need for you to apologise. I hope I speak for the other Dogs when I say I think we understand that you were making comments about the general state of people in the wider world, not the individuals you find on the 'Yard.

I'm not sure I see the problem with derailing of threads unless someone comes in with a specific agenda and an unwillingness to listen to and respect the other person's point of viewm, even if they don't agree with it.
I think that conversations naturally flow from one topic to another and that board threads tend to follow that pattern.
